Tea and the clouds...
Sparked imagination-
antennae up,
feeling for pernicious signs,
clues to the weather
Will clouds be white,
grey, cotton candy or a
penny- copper color?
Large ones hanging like curtains,
in funny car shapes-
She put tea and muffins
on a small table, with 2
small chairs
Continually changing
clouds, manifestations of
animals or persona
Would it be Jesus,
the messiah she read about,
that steps from behind the
parting clouds doors,
appearing not in recent
epochal time,
to speak in allegory
of our greedy ways?
...maybe Mr. Rogers,
or a granny
A stained glass chime
tinkling,
she saw shadows dancing
on luminous
white porcelain plates
in the sun;
more than mere shapes
of billowing toys
or formations
of dogs and sheep
even spheres and orbs
She sees through the prisms of her eyes
from where she lay on her back,
in the cool grass-
looking up
Vitiligo- like clouds
filled in the forever blue with
familiar warmth,
a gradual
shifting of the guard
Clouds gathered
in an artful display
and suddenly appears
a giant-sized, kind,
gentle face...
She invited him to sit beside her....
and
.......he held her hand...
drank her tea-
and worshipped her small kisses
The prompt today, to use the following. 12 words in a poem: messiah,luminous,plate, shadow , persona, epochal, pernicious, allegory, vitiglio , warmth, door, glass. My PC has crashed so am painstakingly using my cell phone. I'll try to get all posts read but comments will be brief or have to wait...hope for sun.
thanks.

ReplyDeleteits ever changing though, like a painting ever evolving...deepening, darkening, then lightening...
we see it all through the prism of our eyes, that translates for us...

I really like that last stanza, the loving gentleness of it, and the small kisses!
ReplyDeletewhen you lay in the grass looking at clouds it takes a gently man to bring the dreams to a blissful close. :-)
